It’s time, the new Mac Studio are coming. It seems the time has finally come for the Mac Studio update, perhaps at WWDC which opens next Monday. This, at least, is what one might think in light of the fact that Apple is testing desktop Macs with M2 Max and M2 Ultra chips.

The new desktops, which the journalist Mark Gurman talks about in an article published this morning on Bloomberg, for now are identified internally only as Mac 14.13 and Mac 14.14 and nothing else is known about them except that, in fact, they will use the new processors but the fact that a few days ago the same journalist had already mentioned an imminent second-hand take-back program for the Mac Studio, it is difficult to think of other Mac models other than the Mac Studio
Certainly the M2 Max processor seems the most suitable for a Mac Studio. The current version uses an old M1 Max, now decidedly dated by Apple’s standard. The chip under test vangterbebe an 8-core CPU and 96 GB of Ram. The same processor as the MacBook Pros.
Some question marks hang over the Mac with the M2 Ultra featuring a 24-core CPU and a 60-core GPU with 64, 128, and 192GB of unified memory. The M2 Ultra chip is also expected to be offered in more powerful configurations with 76-core GPUs, double the 38-cores of the current M2 Max.
Gurman himself had previously cast doubts on the prospect that the Mac Studios could have such a powerful processor because it would put them on the trajectory of future Mac Pro releases.
If the Mac Pro arrives soon – and there is no inkling of this launch for now even if it is certain that it will arrive – then what Apple is testing might not be a Mac Studio but the Mac Pro (although for now we know that the its identification number is different: Mac 14,8). If, on the other hand, the launch date were far behind, even the second Mac being validated could be a Mac Studio, a machine that should function as a filler in view of the launch of the Mac Pro which could at this point be introduced later with the most powerful M3.
Gurman said the new computers are part of an effort by Apple to overhaul current Macs and entice consumers with new, even more powerful models at a time of substantial industry stagnation. Powerful desktop machines are of fundamental importance among professionals who deal, for example, with video or graphics in general and who want to renew their fleet of machines.
We remind you that at WWDC it seems fairly certain that there will be the new MacBook Air with a 15″ screen as well as the new virtual reality glasses, the Reality Pro.
